About
Rita Moretti is a neuroscientist whose research bridges motor rehabilitation, neuroimaging, and the neural mechanisms underlying movement. Her work focuses on understanding how the brain adapts and responds to different motor tasks, particularly in the context of recovery after neurological injury. A key contribution is her investigation of cerebral hemodynamic changes during motor imagery and passive robot-assisted movement of the lower limbs, a 2019 study that has garnered 6 citations and highlights the potential of combining mental rehearsal with robotic assistance to promote neuroplasticity. This research has implications for developing more effective rehabilitation strategies for patients with motor impairments, such as those following stroke or spinal cord injury. Moretti’s work is notable for its integration of functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) with robotic systems, offering a non-invasive window into brain activity during movement. Her findings underscore the importance of understanding how passive and active movement engage distinct neural circuits, paving the way for personalized neurorehabilitation protocols. Through her focused and innovative research, Moretti continues to contribute to the growing field of neurorehabilitation and brain-computer interfaces.
